Our proposals in Mid Suffolk
From the county boundary between South Norfolk and Mid Suffolk, the overhead line alignment would run south, passing to the west of Mellis and to the east of Gislingham before crossing the railway.
The draft alignment would then continue south past Stowupland and Needham Market, where it crosses back over the railway, before it turns eastwards at Offton, runs north of Flowton and connects into Bramford substation.
From the substation, the overhead line alignment would run south-east for a short distance to the border with Babergh.
Changes outside the 2022 preferred draft corridor East of Wortham Ling
The alignment would change to continue from the border between South Norfolk and Mid Suffolk and would run south, rejoining the 2022 preferred draft corridor east of Wortham.
Changes outside the 2022 preferred draft corridor North of Flowton
South of Offton, the alignment would run further east of the 2022 preferred draft corridor, south of Somersham and north of Flowton. This would broadly follow the route of the existing 132 kV overhead line that connects into Bramford substation.
Changes within the 2023 preferred draft corridor
North-west of Barking and Barking Tye the preferred draft alignment would be routed within the preferred draft corridor presented in 2022 but in an area thought less likely as shown by the graduated swathe.
